An improved method for parathyroid scanning using thallium-201 and technetium-99m subtraction imaging is described. The technique successfully localised ten of eleven parathyroid adenomas confirmed at neck exploration. Two false-positive studies were encountered in patients with no adenoma at operat
The thallium-technetium subtraction technique, proposed originally by Ferlin and co-workers, is now widely used to localize parathyroid adenoma. We report here the case of a hypercalcemic woman, referred to our ward with the biologically assessed diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. Thallium-te
